The Developer Academy

The program was not easy but the tutors made it simple and fun to go through. Having a bit experience in coding, I wasn't really looking forward to the coding aspect but it was made so simple that I enjoyed it. The tutors also supported in making sure... Read More my CV was in the right format and assisted in job applications. Anyone thinking of doing it sould go ahead but also remeber you will have to put in the extra work to get the most out of it.

Lovely people! Teachers were great and were really generous with their time and help, ontop of the course content. Focus on projects from day 1 really helped consolidate my knowledge. Non-teaching staff were very on-the-ball when it came to jobs, we had... Read More regular career-focussed 1:1s and we were encouraged to search for jobs ourselves from the start. Focus on presenting to a non-technical audience was also very useful - we did this every week during the course which prepared me very well for my current job in which i have to present regularly. Can't think of any cons! I'd recommend the course to anyone.

I can't recommend them enough! I joined The Developer Academy for the Data Science Skills Bootcamp in November 2021. I could not have landed my first job in tech without the support I received during my time here. I loved my time on this bootcamp because... Read More everything we learned had a practical and professional purpose. The team were genuinely committed to helping people find work and helped immensely with building confidence, having a presence on LinkedIn, and building a portfolio that demonstrated strong technical skills. We also had the opportunity to work on our presentation skills every week so that we felt more able to translate technical information to audiences with a range of backgrounds. The bootcamp had a great blend of teaching, independent study and project work. You get what you put in. If you work hard and stay committed to completing the bootcamp, you'll find that coveted tech job pretty soon.

The course started with live lessons on fundamentals of computer programming with main...

Learning on your own is great, but nothing can replace learning from experienced developers. In addition to that, regular career sessions provided great support from perfecting cv, applying for jobs, preparing for interviews to meeting potential employers from the industry . Within just few weeks of finishing the course, I got hired for a fully remote Software Tester role !
